Research notes
Research notes

Protein comes from whole grain oats, whey protein concentrate and isolate, and walnuts, so proteinSource is mixed. Nutrition is from the PepsiCo SmartLabel page that quakeroats.com embeds for UPC 030000315958 (6 servings per container): 1 packet (61 g) gives 230 kcal, 12 g protein, 38 g carbs, 12 g sugar (10 g added) and 5 g fat. The Amazon listing has the same UPC, and its summary matches. Numbers are for the dry packet; Quaker prepares it with water. Price rule: Amazon's current one-time price (shipped and sold by Amazon.com), with no deal badge and no Typical price shown.
